A few months back, I posted a note because I bought ($25!) a green Elna '50s Supermatic (aka a "Grasshopper"!) It went to DD who alas, did not learn to be comfortable with it. No matter- at local Goodwill I saw a Brother machine which works very much like the Kenmore she learned on (which is vintage like her mother!) I looked at this blue and white Brother machine and there wasn't a bobbin shuttle so I was about to pass by when 30 feet away, down on another shelf I spied the attachment box and everything including shuttle was there. Held my breath when I plugged it in, sews beautifully and for $20 DD has sewing machine again. Best of all, she was delighted because she sold the Elna for $75. I love to read the threads about yard sale, Goodwill, Craigs List finds Happy Hunting!!
